What is the investigator's obligation regarding trial-related activities?

In Good Clinical Practice, the investigator’s obligation is to conduct all trial-related activities in compliance with the protocol and applicable regulatory requirements. This means following the approved procedures, ensuring the rights, safety, and well-being of subjects, and preserving data integrity and quality. It also covers obtaining and documenting informed consent correctly, promptly reporting adverse events, maintaining accurate records, and supervising site staff to ensure they are qualified and trained. If something in the trial raises safety concerns or requires a protocol or regulatory change, the investigator must seek the appropriate approvals before continuing. Compliance is mandatory for all trials, not optional, and applies throughout the study, not just at the beginning. Relying on personal judgment to override the protocol or regulations compromises subject safety and data integrity, which is why those alternatives do not fit.
